Frightened

It's all out on the streets today but you, you've found a place to hide
 Too busy with the ratrace, you pass by on the other side
 Yours is the face of the brand new Britain with blinkers on your eyes
 Find yourself position and cling on for dear life
 You're so frightened, everybody's so frightened
 The papers tell of rape and murder, everything that you want to hear
 Bad tidings on the radio - you find a way to name your fear
 So you never pick up hitchhikers, never talk to strangers
 Believe the world outside your bolted door is evil
 You're so frightened, everybody's so frightened.
 You are just a victim of your own bad dreams
 While people are the same as we've always been
 But through the blindness in your eyes
 For just one minute I see them shine
 Love me . . won't you love me? But they all turn away
 You never fight for anything, you always turn your face away
 And you never get involved in trouble let all evil have it's way
 So as the girl screams in the street below, you turn up the television
 Perhaps you'll see it on the news - well it's nothing to do with you
 You're too frightened, everybody's so frightened
 Why is everybody so frightened?
